Volleyball Offense General Notes

1
Volleyball OffenseGeneral Notes

• We run a 6-2 6 hitters and 2 setters.
• Back row setter sets so front row setter can hit
  (gives us 3 hitters)
• Make pass to the setter position
• If back row setter must take first hit, call
  setter out front row setter takes sets
• In Base, front row gets off net to attack (Of-4
  Mf-2 Sf-5)
• Back row hits downballs (Black-Left Red-Right)
• Use all types of hits spike, roll, tip, shoot,
  downball

Volleyball RotationsGeneral Notes when Serving

• We will always serve in this order 1-Setter,
  2-Outside, 3-Middle,
• 4-Setter, 5-Outside, 6-Middle
• If we begin game in Receive, we will line up in
  Middle Receive
• The front row middle will always line up in the
  middle others in front row will move around
  her.
• The server is technically not on the court so
  overlap rules do not apply to server.
• Watch overlap with player directly in front or
  behind and with players within same row.

Volleyball RotationsGeneral Notes when
Receiving Serve

• We always have 3 players receiving serve. We
  hide the back row setter so she can take the 2nd
  hit to set the attack.
• The back row setter takes sets with the exception
  of when we are in Middle Receivethe front row
  will set the attack and then after players go to
  base, the back row setter will take the rest of
  the sets.
• If back row setter must take the first hit, call
  Setter Out front row setter takes sets.
• After our first attack gets past the opponents
  front row, we quickly go to Base.
• Watch overlap with player directly in front or
  behind and with players within same row.
